At Feather & Twigs, we are proud to work with independent makers who care deeply about what they create. Our range of travel candles from The Victorian Candle Co. is a perfect example of that philosophy in practice — thoughtfully made, beautifully designed, and created with purpose.
The Victorian Candle Co. began in 2019, founded by brothers Aidan and Ru Blackett in Cumbria. What started as a hobby in their parents’ kitchen soon became something far more meaningful: a quiet but determined pursuit of quality, fragrance, and craftsmanship. [victoriancandle.co]
Early on, friends and family noticed something special — not just the scents themselves, but the care poured into every candle. Inspired by Victorian‑era literature, artwork, and traditional British craftsmanship, the brothers launched their first collection online the same year. The name The Victorian Candle Co. reflects their belief in timeless design and products made properly, not hurried. [victoriancandle.co]
As demand grew locally, candles were poured day and night, each one made by hand with attention to detail and pride in the process. Today, The Victorian Candle Co. continues to craft their candles in Cumbria, supplying independent retailers and heritage destinations across the UK — while staying true to the values they started with: careful craftsmanship, lasting design, and quality you can feel.

Their travel candles capture everything we love about the brand. Compact and practical, they’re perfect for taking a little comfort on the road — whether that’s a weekend away, a holiday cottage, or simply moving from room to room at home. Despite their size, they deliver rich fragrance and a clean, even burn, making them ideal companions for travel, gifting, or everyday moments of calm.
For us, these candles aren’t just about scent. They’re about slowing down, choosing well, and supporting makers who value quality over quantity. They fit effortlessly into the Feather & Twigs ethos — products with soul, made to be enjoyed rather than rushed.
If you’re looking for a small luxury to take on your travels or a thoughtful gift with a genuine story behind it, our Victorian Candle Co. travel candles are a beautiful place to start.
Somewhere along the way, women were sold a quiet lie: tone it down as you get older. Choose beige. Stick to black. Don’t draw attention. Blend in gracefully.
No thank you.
At Feather and Twigs, we believe ageing is not a cue to fade into the background—it’s permission to turn the volume up. Style is not something you age out of. Confidence doesn’t retire at 50. And colour? Colour is not childish, desperate or inappropriate. Colour is...
At Feather & Twigs, every card we stock has been chosen with care. Behind each design is a talented independent maker or artist with a story worth telling. We believe that when you send a card, you're not just sharing a message — you're sharing a piece of someone's craft and creativity. Here's a little introduction to the wonderful makers behind our greeting card collection.
There’s always one, isn’t there?
The dad who insists he doesn’t need a thing.
Who shrugs when you ask what he’d like.
Who quietly fixes, carries, makes, and mends… and asks for nothing in return.
And yet — those are often the dads we want to get right the most.
This Father’s Day, instead of searching for more, we’re choosing meaning. Slower, quieter, more thoughtful gifts that feel like him. The kind that don’t shout, but stay.
